     Perhaps I was misunderstood.  I give no warranty because there is no 
reason to.  I can sell the job for the same price without a warranty,(used car 
lots cannot do this), so there is nothing to be gained by creating a liability 
for myself.  If one were to increase the price because of the warranty, then 
they are selling insurance, not technical work.  I don't care to be in the 
insurance business.
